German Existentialism is represented by three thinkers: Barth, Heidegger, and Jaspers. Their common source of inspiration is Kierkegaard's thought, of which there was revival in Germany shortly after World War I. Heidegger and Jaspers are also dependent upon some significant motives found in the writings of Nietzsche. Heidegger felt, in addition, the influence of his teacher, Husserl.

Previous Home TOC Next Hellenistic and Roman Philosophy That period of history from roughly the 4 th century BC to the 5 th century AD generally corresponds to the decline of ancient Greece, the advent of the Hellenistic kingdoms, and the long history of Rome, first as a Republic and then as the Roman empire. With regards to intellectual thought, Hellenistic and Roman cultures borrowed heavily from their Greek predecessors. From the 4 th century BC to the rise of Christian philosophy in the 4 th century AD, the main philosophical schools in the Greco-Roman world were: Epicureanism Stoicism Skepticism Neoplatonism Interest in natural science declined steadily during this period as these schools were mainly concerned with ethics and religion. Epicureanism Epicurus (341-270 BC) founded a philosophical school in Athens in 306 BC. Epicureanism (like Stoicism) is practical in its ends, proposing to find in reason and knowledge the secret of a happy life. Epicurus maintained that natural science is important only if it can be applied in making practical decisions and in allaying fear: fear of the gods, fear of death, fear based on superstitions. He adopted the materialistic, atomistic system of Democritus but made several important changes:

Support Us Jean Paul Sartre      Jean Paul Sartre was born in Paris, June 21, 1905 as the first child of a marriage entered into a little over a year previously. His father, Jean-Baptiste, had meanwhile died of an infection contracted whilst serving in the French navy, Jean Paul grew up in the home of his maternal grandfather, Karl Schweitzer.     This Karl Schwietzer was a professor of German language at the Sorbonne, the author of numerous published works, and also an uncle of the celebrated medical missionary Albert Schwietzer.    Other circumstances than the demise of his father also conspired to make Sartre's childhood difficult. He was noticeably small in stature and obviously cross-eyed besides being over-intelligent and bookish. His mother was also cloyingly affectionate.     The difficulty Sartre found in gaining acceptance, and his precociousness, together with grandfather Karl's tutoring, led to his putting together a book entitles Les Mots (The Words) which related the experience of himself and his mother in the Luxembourg Gardens in Paris in search of childhood playmates.    He was inducted into the French military following the outbreak of European war in 1939 and was detailed to serve in a meterological section charged with the management of weather balloons. He was subsequently captured in June 1940 and imprisoned into 1941 by the Germans.

Existentialism: An Introduction Existentialism attempts to describe our desire to make rational decisions despite existing in an irrational universe. Unfortunately, life might be without inherent meaning (existential atheists) or it might be without a meaning we can understand (existential theists). Either way, the human desires for logic and immortality are futile. We are forced to define our own meanings, knowing they might be temporary. In this existence… The Individual Defines Everything.

52. Existentialism The philosophy of existentialism. existentialism is a highly passionate philosophyand, from the outset, seems to aim at a dynamic and fashionable lifestyle. http://www.columbia.edu/~ta63/exist.htm

ESSAYS ON EXISTENTIALISM by Tanweer Akram The Philosophy of Existentialism Existentialism is the title of the set of philosophical ideals that emphasizes the existence of the human being, the lack of meaning and purpose in life, and the solitude of human existence. Existentialism maintains existence precedes essence: This implies that the human being has no essence, no essential self, and is no more that what he is. He is only the sum of life is so far he has created and achieved for himself. Existentialism acquires its name from insisting that existence precedes essence. Existentialist thinkers are of the view that the metaphysical explanation of existence as given by the traditional schools of philosophy fails to produce satisfactory results. They also maintain that the problem of being ought to take precedence in all philosophical inquiry. Existence is always particular, unique and individual. Existentialist are opposed to the view laws explaining human freedom and activity can be formulated. Existence is essential and fundamental: Being cannot be made a topic of objective study. Being is revealed to and felt by the human being through his own experience and his situation. So it is maintained existence is the first and central problem. Existentialism stresses the risk, the voidness of human reality and admits that the human being is thrown into the world, the world in which pain, frustration, sickness, contempt, malaise and death dominates. It was during the Second World War, when Europe found itself in a crisis and faced with death and destruction, the existentialist movement began to flourish. The dark portrait of such a sickness could be found even in the optimistic and confident nineteenth century in the works of authors as diverse as the communist German Karl Marx (1818-1883), the religious Dane Soren Kierkegaard (1813-1855), the German Fredich Nietzche (1844-1900).

Chuck Palahniuk: American scream This philosophy stands in a clear line of descent that can be traced from Fyodor Dostoevsky through Herman Hesse and Jean-Paul Sartre. Palahniuk believes from this point on that once you hit rock bottom and see that there is no meaning in the world, you are entirely free, because then you get to create your own meaning.

Anti-theistic perspectives - By DOUGLAS ANELE The world-renowned existentialist, Jean-Paul Sartre, stated that the existence of God is incompatible with human freedom. He argues that if God exists and man is subordinate to him, then man is not free. But we know that man is free; therefore there is no God. Further, Sartre argues that the concept of God is contradictory. God is conceived as the ens causa sui, a being who is the cause of his own being. How, Sartre wondered, can a being be the cause of his own being? In order for something to cause itself, it must exist first.

Handouts and Links I expect to offer this course during either 2004-5 or 2005-6. Course Description: Existentialism is more than anything else a revolt against excessive abstraction in philosophy and in human life in general. Existentialists see abstraction in the "leveling down" of human life by diverse forces of homogenization, such as universal morality and rationality, mass society, and modern science. In each of these forces existentialists see a threat to human freedom, a threat to the individual’s distinctive identity and her ability to commit herself in her own voice (rather than in the voice of reason or morality or custom) to a life-defining commitment. Although existentialism is just as much literary and cultural as philosophical, in Philosophy 166 we will focus mostly on the philosophical aspect of existentialism. Existentialism is, moreover, a loose philosophical movement, rather than a school of thought. For this reason, we will be looking at several approaches to a group of problems or worries, rather than at the development of a set of doctrines. We will start with Dostoyevsky's (literary) presentation of some of the basic threats to human freedom felt by the existentialists. In his

60. Corbett -- What Is Existentialism? one responds to human existence, much easier to characterize (rather than define)in negative terms what existentialism is NOT that philosophy generally is http://www.webster.edu/~corbetre/philosophy/existentialism/whatis.html

WHAT IS EXISTENTIALISM? Bob Corbett March 1985 Existentialism. A difficult term to define and an odd movement. Odd because most thinkers whom the intellectual world categorizes as existentialists are people who deny they are that. And, two of the people whom nearly everyone points to as important to the movement, Soren Kierkegaard and Fredrich Nietzsche, are both too early in time to be in the group, thus are usually called "precursorers," but studied and treated as members of the group. Major figures like Jean-Paul Sartre, Martin Heidegger and Albert Camus all flatly deny they are in the movement (at least at times they did), yet everyone says they are central. Secondly, the term is very difficult, if not totally impossible to define. What is existentialism? I've been asked that a thousand times, have read most intro type books on the field, have spent much of my teaching life "doing" Existentialism, yet cannot give a coherent and relatively short definition. It's sort of a spirit or aura of how one responds to human existence, much easier to characterize (rather than define) in negative terms what Existentialism is NOT that philosophy generally is than in positive terms of a definition. However, I can define certain characterists that most Existentialists (and precursors to Existentialism) seem to share:
